Mäelooga

Mäelooga (Estonian)

Mäelooga is an Estonian word that translates roughly to "hill loop" or "contour of a hill". It refers to the undulating shape or silhouette created by a series of hills or a hilly landscape. The term often evokes a sense of natural beauty and is used in contexts related to geography, landscape description, and sometimes in figurative senses in literature or art to describe flowing or rhythmic forms. The word emphasizes the visual rhythm and interconnectedness of hills as they form a continuous line against the horizon. It's a compound word, deriving from mäe (genitive form of mägi, meaning "hill") and looga (meaning "curve", "loop", or "contour").
